Can this meter display watts when amperage is on the clamp and volts are on the leads? Or only display amps and volts?

no this meter does not do watts but as a meter its all you need always use amps times volts to get your watts . this meter does more please read man specs if you are in thehvacr ind. this I rec. all Iown

I do not know of any meter that does that. To read DC Amps, you have to remove a lead wire from it's termination point and attach one of the leads from the meter to the wire end. Then you attach the other meter wire to the now vacant termination point. In short, the meter acts as a part of your power wire.

Yes A negative sign (-) will display on the meter when checking DC voltage and the meter leads are incorrectly placed on the voltage source. When the meter leads are reversed, then the negative sign will not appear.

I believe it can measure 120, 240 or three phase power. It comes with TWO current probes.If you only attach ONE and restart I believe it will measure 120 volt single phase. However, if that is all you want to do , buy a Watt Wizard for much less money.

Yes the meter should show voltage and or amps being drawn if there is a leak. Just remember that some radio's and electronic bildge pumps will pull voltage and slight amprage for memory [radio] and to check for water pressure [pump] Electronic bildge pump don't look for water level they sence water pressure to turn them on and off.

The Efergy displays Watts. Both instant current Watt readings, daily totals and daily averages. Local rates can be entered to show costs, but that feature is not necessary to use.

I believe this meter unit works for up to 7500 running watts. It sounds like yours is 6000 running watts with a surge of 7000 watts. Yes; this will work for you.

I was unable to get the meter to read low amps. It would show amps when the load reached 40 amps and higher. Tried everything even with shunt. Customer was content to having a volt meter that would show voltage dropping on the inverter system.

Meter Power supply, two pin / wires = red & black are 4.5 to 30 volt input for meter display. (separate from measuring / test voltage). Can use a 9 volt battery. Second connector: 3 pin / wires for measuring under test voltage & current. "IN, "PW" & "COM". Connect "PW" to positive side of circuit under test (+) and "COM" to (-) of test circuit; for the voltage readout on meter. Connect "IN" to load side of shunt. V-cal & A-cal are the adjustments on the P.C board for calibration purposes. The data sheet does not specify this very well. Needs more verbiage in directions department.

Yes you can measuretrue power but you cant measure current and volts at the same time

It displays the current that is actually flowing. I didn't see a way to have it tell you what you are setting the limit to. So I had to connect a load and then adjust it to see where it was set.

3A = 3 Amps , just like the Fuse or Circuit Breaker you have in your House -- Amperage refers to how much Power the source can supply -- your monitor either calls for Amps or Watts ?? Watts = Voltage x Amps ( 14v X 3amps = 42 watts ) Generally you need Power Supply rated at Required Amps/Watts or MORE == Example if your monitor called for 14v (1.5amps or 21watts = GOOD) 3A or 42Watts is BETTER

my understanding is that the source side must be the most positive than the load side.also the measured current is only on the negative side (black wires).even with zero current the meter will still read zero provided you have at least 4v between the red and black load lines

All I have is a hand held meter with a needle. It displays 2.1 amps on start up. I am using an Active Air variable speed controller with mine. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003URBQ1M/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

Has anyone measured the actual output DC voltage when this unit is supplying 2.1 amperes of current? If so, what did your volt-meter read?

I looked on the cord and and it said 300 volts if that helps. I didn't see anything for amps or watts.

I bought the meter to judge the level of lead-acid batteries, but since it is just a voltage meter, I'm not sure it would make any difference.
